Chapter 11. Text Editing Objects
and Events
Much of what a programmer does during the workday (and worknight) involves editing text. In fact, editing text is so much a part of programming that many a successful business has been built around creating a better Notepad, and the popularity of these editors has grown in direct proportion to the number of mundane tasks that they automate and the extent to which they can be customized. As you learned in Chapter 3, Visual Studio .NET boasts a first-class code editor, and the automation object model lets you leverage the editor's functionality to create all the editing features that would've been included had you been in charge at Microsoft.
